F1 Training Services delivers the NUCO accredited training course and is described by NUCO as a comprehensive two-day course that covers a wide range of First Aid emergencies, enabling all participants to deal with emergencies with confidence in a prompt, safe and effective way, particularly where professional medical help is not immediately available.

This course fulfills the requirements of the First Aid element of the expedition syllabus and it is suitable for the Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh awards.

There is sufficient content in this course to satisfy the requirements of the HSE in respect of Emergency First Aid at Work. An additional certificate can be provided to evidence this to an employer, this should be requested from your course instructor and additional fees may apply.

Course content includes but is not limited to:

Summative practical assessment is ongoing by the instructor each day, along with a written assessment on each day. A NUCO three-year Level 3 Award in Outdoor First Aid will be issued to the learner, subject to successful assessment. No external assessors are required. A range of methods are used, including, practical and questioning (open and multiple-choice).

A maximum of 12 students are allowed and must be a minimum of 16 years of age and a certificate can be offered to all, subject to assessment. A learner cannot assume a responsibility in the workplace until they reach the age of 16, and then it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the student is suitable for that role.
